Why you should look for a job as a home tutor

 


With the advancing education and the increasing number of students, teachers are in increasing demand. The advancing education gives rise to competition and the teacher must provide the best materials and guidance to a child. There are many ways in which a teacher can do that, the first being the schools, colleges and tuition centres of course.

 

Then come the private tutors that are hired by a family to get their kids taught. The home tutor visits the house and teaches a child in a separate room. They strengthen the parent-teacher bond by interacting every day because of the frequent visits they have to make. This is something that tuition centres and schools lack.

 

Home tutors are high in demand, especially in the cities. Applying as a home tutor in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, etc could be a great option.

 

Here are benefits of home tutoring that everyone should know before getting in.

 

  1. High Pay: Unusual as it may sound, home tutors get paid very well. The competition for home tutors is private tuition centres where students don’t get personalised attention.  Since the students get personalised and undistracted attention from their home tutors, the job can demand high pay. Parents are willing to pay higher fees for their children if it means that the education imparted is in accordance to the personal needs of their teachers. A private tutor in Mumbai can earn more than 100K a month.

  2. Job Satisfaction: Job satisfaction is a very important part of every job. If people are not satisfied with their job, doing it day in and day out becomes even more difficult. As a home tutor, a person can delve into his job as see the results first hand. This gives a sense of instant satisfaction that is hard to find in any other job.

  3. Time Management: Home tutors have a very flexible schedule. They can schedule their classes based on their own preoccupations. Even though home tutors set a rather constant time for their classes, they can change their timings whenever and however they want to. This flexibility makes the job very attractive and easy to maintain.

  4. Low-Level Entry: Getting into a profession of home tutoring is very easy and doesn’t require high qualifications. A graduate can easily get a job as a home tutor in his specified field. Even as an undergraduate, it is relatively easy to get a job.

 

Modes of Home Tutors:

 

A home tutor can work in many different ways based on his preferences. Here are some of them:

Part-Time: Working part-time can help save time for other projects or goals while providing money.

Full TIme: Working as a full-time tutor is very lucrative and can be a good career choice.

 

Offline: Offline home tutors have to visit the students and give lectures in person.

 

Online: Online home tutors have more flexibility in the form of exams conducted and noted provided. Online mode also saves the cost of travel

 

Working as a home tutor is seriously underrated but very profitable.

Should you go for a Bungalow or not?

 


Planning where to settle can be a little hectic, especially when it comes to buying houses, flats, property, etc. Here are some points that might help you decide if you really want to settle in a bungalow.

 

       Mobility

Bungalows have one storeys which makes it easy for people to move around. Older people usually have difficulty climbing the stairs so it’s convenient for them. But some people, usually teenagers and young adults prefer having rooms in the second store as it is less noisy and more private. Having all the rooms on one floor is a con and a pro, depending on the kinda person you are. This also increases the chances of a break-in and losing all your valuables.

 

       Bedrooms

The whole idea of a bungalow was to create a house with a large living room space. This is nice if you usually have guests or a family of more than four. But this also means less bedroom space. Don’t expect a master bedroom when buying a bungalow.

 

       Cost

Bungalows have all the rooms on one storey, this makes them take up more land than a house with two storeys would. This can make them more expensive unless of course, you get lucky and land in a place where you can find them on sale, like there are bungalows for sale in Mumbai. Bungalows are also usually old, which can cost repairing rates too.

 

       Beauty

Bungalows are generally beautiful, and are available in beautiful places. For instance, the sea facing bungalow project in Mumbai allows you to have a beautiful view of the sea which is totally an advantage.

 

       Privacy

Grow many trees and surround your house with them, this makes your house much more closed up which provides privacy.

Different types of Contact Lenses

 


Everyone has a choice and if you just happened to choose contact lenses, that’s a good choice. Most people don’t want to go with glasses as it sits on the face, or LASIK surgery.

 

Types of contacts

Contact lenses differ from one another based on  materials. There are 5 types of contact lenses and based on this knowledge, you can choose the one that fits you best.

 

1.      Silicone Hydrogel lenses

These are the most popular types of lenses. They are made of a type of innovative soft lens material that allows oxygen to pass through them. The oxygen then reaches the front surface of the eye.

 

2.      Hybrid contact lenses

These lenses are designed in such a way that provides better comfort than soft silicone lenses. They are surrounded by a layer of hydrogel or silicone hydrogel material and have a rigid permeable central zone.

 

3.      PMMA lenses

These rigid lenses look like GP lenses but differ because they’re made of plastic that doesn’t permit oxygen. PMMA were usually prescribed years ago but GP lenses took over.

 

4.      Gas permeable lenses.

A.K.A GP or RGP lenses are rigid contact lenses that stay on the eye maintaining shape. This enables them to correct astigmatism or other refractive errors. GP lenses are made of highly oxygen-permeable materials. It takes a little time getting used to them but once that happens, you might find them better than soft lenses.

 

5.      Soft lenses

They are made from Hydrogels, they are something like gel-water containing plastics. They are very thin and easily stay on the eye making them extremely comfortable.

 

There comes disposable lenses too like Acuvue1 Day Moist, biofinity six pack monthly, etc. Once you get used to lenses you will know how easy it is with them. If you experience discomfort or something else, visit a doctor.

Does architecture affect your mood?

 

Winston Churchill, in 1943 said, "We shape our buildings only for them to shape us." This was later supported by many psychologists and neuroscientists. So does architecture affect your mood?

 

Yes, it does. Over the course of 70 years, neuroscientists and psychologists worked on this and gathered up a lot of evidence to back up Winston's musings. They have found that there are specialized cells in the hippocampal part of our brain that is aware of the change, geometry, and the arrangement of the space we are in.

 

Psychological studies have shown us about the effects on our mood because of the design and space and have acknowledged us about the kind of urban places people find more appealing. But do architects ignore this?

It is quite possible for architects to not care about this but most cities like Tokyo have made this obligatory.

 

In the 1950s, Minoru Yamasaki built 33 featureless, boring apartment blocks in the Pruitt- Igoe housing complex in St Louis, Missouri. That place quickly became responsible for crime, squalor, and social dysfunction. They were eventually demolished in 1972 because critics argued that the lack of open space and the grey, colorless vibe gave rise to crime.

 

So, are there any architects in India that take care of this? Yes, there are plenty like the Sarayan best architects in Mumbai. Companies like these have architects that design houses, offices, cafes, hospitals, etc. in colorful and comfortable ways. For instance, let's take an example of Sarayan top architects in Mumbai, their designs are observed to have various colors that enhance mood and create a sense of open space.

 

Studying all this gave rise to neuro-architecture, which showed that places do affect our moods that in return affect our behavior. "We are the creatures of places we are put in" quoted by Jeffrey.
